I just talked to Bill from the Johnson County Parks Department who is a disc golfer and he suggested having disc golfers and residents of JOCO to show up to have input in the direction of this new Park. Lets really show up in strong numbers to get a great disc golf course into the area.

Please pass the word around and could someone post this to the Facebook page! Thanks

I just been asked by the WYCO Parks Department and the KCK Police Department to remove the Fire Pit and the extra benches down there. The Parks Department said okay to one bench per hole. They have been called out to the park and found people hanging out down there after the Park Closed hours. They don't want anyone in the park after hours so we all need to help get the word out to stay out of the park after hours. We have a great relationship with the Parks so let's help them out by taking care of this for them.Thank you

We will be spreading asphalt chips around several of the up top Tee Pad Areas between the bench and the Tee and also in front of the Tee's if there is a worn down area.

This will be a 2-3 hour work day some come help for an hour or as long as you can your help is greatly appreciated. Bring Gloves, Rakes for gravel, shovels and we will knock this out fast!

I heard Wyco league has changed to Wednesday night, is that correct? The Friday night league was a great league night for that destination park. The KCFDC has done a great job establishing league nights and sticking to them over the years so people from all over remember when a league is and make the trek to go play it. Friday worked great for Wyco because it was a destination and normally you didn't have to work on Saturday so you could drive out there and play then hang out or go to the Legends and grab something to eat. This is disappointing that they moved it to try and do what? Drive the attendance up? By competing with another Wyandotte County Park for Players? I don't think you will drive attendance up at all but just the opposite it will go down. Please try this out and if its not working don't hesitate to move it back to Friday. The Lawrence players and the Kansas City players will appreciate it. Thanks, Pete

If you haven't played Rosedale Park, Last Friday the WYCO parks installed 7 new trees on the course. These 7 new Trees were paid for from the donation box $200 at hole 1 at Rosedale and Dynamic Discs $750 to continue to give back to the players that use Rosedale Park. Thank you to all that donated and continue to donate to the donation box. The KCFDC who manages the money from the donation box and Dynamic Discs are committed to giving back to the community that uses the course by donating and installing trees at Rosedale over the next several years to really define the course and make it challenging for the players.
